Seven Years? How the hell did that happen?
I won't bore you with a lot of musings on blogging today. It's April 15th and some of you might have more important things to attend to.
But I did just wanna say a big and heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who shows up here--no matter how off-topic, trivial, or silly the content might be. You guys are the reason Cranky Fitness never quite dies off! Which is either a good thing or an incredible disservice to humanity. I think the jury is still out on that one.
I've wandered away for long periods, and yet when I come back, some of you are still here to give me another chance. Which totally makes me a happy and grateful crab. Plus, Cranky Fitness commenters are world-renowned for their generosity, humor, patience, common sense, cleverness, and kick-ass attitudes.
Oh, and one more thing: we've got a new About Page, somewhat re-edited and updated. It now includes a few more photos and introduces a couple of regular blog contributors, Starving Bitch and Research Nancy. (I'm still fantasizing about forming some sort of partnership with a smart-ass social-media ninja who for some reason is willing to align themselves with the Cranky brand and take over the world with me for nothing other than speculative future income. Folks who thought they had time to help simply didn't! So if you inquired earlier and I lost your email, please nudge me.)
Anyway, happy tax day, and thanks again everyone!!!!!!
Mega-congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteYou know that if not for the opportunity that Cranky Fitness gave me back in the day, lol, Dr. J may never have been able to leave the OR and enter the world of the Internet! So thank you again for that!!
And thank YOU Dr J for all your contributions all these years!
DeleteMan, today is everything!
ReplyDeleteTax Day!
Jackie Robinson Day!
Anniversary of Boston Bombing Day! (boo)
Cranky Fitness Anniversary!
I don't know which slice of celebratory cake to eat first....
I didn't know it was Jackie Robinson Day OtF! But yay for lots of cake... :)
DeleteWow - 7 years!!! Happy anniversary/birthday/whatever you want to call it! Incredible!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kim!
DeleteHappy Seventh Blogiversary. Yay!
ReplyDeleteYou were there virtually from the very beginning Leah, a fact for which I'm very grateful!
Delete*Comes out of the woodwork to scream "happy birthday!!!"*
ReplyDelete*screams back: "thank you so much!!!"*
DeleteCongratulations!!! I'm glad you are still around and making this a fun place to visit. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shelley! And so appreciative that you're part of this weird little blog community we have here!
DeleteHappy birthday! Love the new About Page, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks DRG! I shall have to celebrate by either eating ice cream or biking a few hundred miles in your honor. (You can kinda guess which one I'm going with..)
DeleteHappy (but still Cranky) Birthday! Remember that even if you don't eat the entire cupcake that has the candle, you can STILL lick the frosting off said candle :). So, maybe you use 7? Whatever you do to celebrate - just have fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks UltraKaz! But wait, when would I ever eat just part of a cupcake??!!?? :)
Delete7 years for you - 5 years for me - Tax day and one of my good friend's birthdays... My gosh! I have wayyy too much to celebrate today, I am a BIT overwhelmed!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 5 Gigi, and you should celebrate by eating a tasty celebrity or two!
DeleteAnother reason to be Canadian! My taxes aren't due until April 30th and since some internet virus broke the government computer (maybe we have more than one computer, but no more than 5 or 6) we have a 5 day extension on top of that. Yeeh Ha!
ReplyDeleteOh , I guess this whole anniversary thing is a big deal too. I mean it's no 10 extra days 'til taxes, but still a big deal. Congratulations!
I don't need any more reason to envy Canadians Cindy, if it weren't for the weather I'd already live there. Enjoy your 10 more days of taxcrastination!
DeleteHappy Blogiversary Cranky!!! I can't believe you've been around for seven years and I just recently found you! I've been missing out all those years!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be here for the next seven!!! I can only see good things for you!!! Fame, fortune, and a spot on the Hollywood Wa....somewhere...;-)
Thanks so much LuckyMama, and it's so great to have you around! And glad you introduced me to your great blog as well!
DeleteHappy Birthday Cranky Fitness blog. Happy tax day for all the other folk in the world.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Starving Bitch!
DeleteYAHOO!! I love your writing & blog! I can't tell you how much I wish I was a social media ninja cause I would love to partner & help you ,, and me.. ;) get rich having fun at the same time!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Yeah 7. Just think of the alternative...Wouldn't ya rather be 7 than dead. hahaha
ReplyDeleteI meant that in a fun good way. I don't know if it will translate without voice inflection???!? My bad.
Anyway, I love, love, love this blog. Keep up the good work.
PS I went to yoga today!
Happy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! I wish I could remember how I found this place, and how long ago, but I have no idea. Not leaving, though.

Happy 7th Anniversary!!! I am so glad you are here...still CRANKing out the posts! LOL!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Crabby. If you're at 7 years, I can't be too far behind. You, Leah and Baggie are among those who first got me thinking of starting up. So I thank you for that and for 7 years (on and off) of entertaining posts. Wishing you many, many more.
ReplyDelete7 years?! Ah, and I remember fondly when I first found you too. It just sucks you right in. :) Hummmmm, where should you travel next so I can live vicariously through your photo adventures?
ReplyDeleteHappy blog-aversary cranky!!!
ReplyDeleteYay, Cranky Birthday! This is the best blog ever and I'm happy to have found it. Here's to another fantastic 7+ years. Keep it up, Crabby! \o/
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you all SO MUCH!!! Wish I had time to answer the rest individually, but y'all know how much I love your guys and your supportive comments. Instead, I'm about to put up a post that actually has something to do with fitness for once!
ReplyDeleteBelated happy blogiversary wishes!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly can't forget such a memorable day. Usually lots of freebies to score with tax day too, lol. Lucky 7 and here's to seven more! Happy dance! ~Deb
